It is not working in the sense what ??

Is it giving any error when you enter username & password. ??

Device not taking new credentials...was this a right way to configure new username password..?

In a PIX (sorry no FWSM experience) the only way I have been able to get a different username is with AAA. Anything local, it always uses 'pix'. The ASA can use a new local username.
